You don't start BeMatrx alone. A guide called Build Your Life walks you through the first steps, and a nine-day Settling-In Week gives you one goal a day after that.
Build Your Life
The guide opens on its own after your character is created and takes you through the things that make a life here:
- Get a face — take a photo, pick one from your gallery, or have a portrait made
- A career and a job
- A home
- Meet Bema — your guide in the city, always in your inbox
- Say hello to someone — the guide points out that following is quiet; going where someone is and greeting them is how a bond actually starts
- The elections — the city votes on the 1st of every month
Each step explains itself as you go. If a step can't happen yet — nobody's around to greet, for instance — the guide says so and moves on.
The citizenship ceremony
Once the essentials are in place, the city makes it official: you become citizen number something of your city. The app also asks whether to turn on notifications, promising only what it needs — your salary landing, and a couple of gentle reminders during your first week.
Settling-In Week
Then comes the Settling-In Week: nine days, one goal each. Days unlock in order, each giving XP, and the card tells you when you're done for the day. When the week is over you can pull a First Week card and share it.
Doing it again
You can restart the guide from the beginning in Settings — restarting the guide doesn't touch anything you've earned.
After the guide
Daily missions and quests take over from here. See Daily missions and streaks and About quests.
